They ended up waiting for a few hours until the disciple selection process had finished.
Of course, Shi Lan accompanied them the whole time. She wasn't an ungrateful person. Since Albert didn't blame her and righteously extort her, she made sure that they had a great time there.
Finally, Li Mu returned, finding Shi Lan talking to them happily.
"Master!" Shi Lan immediately rose from the floor and clasped her hands to greet Li Mu.
"En. Sorry that I made you wait for too long." Li Mu nodded to them.
Li Mu then introduced Albert and the others again. "I think you have known each other, but these three are my new disciples. Though, it's more like a partnership since they're aiming for the mountain master's disciple."
"Yes." Shi Lan nodded, acknowledging their identities. Of course, she had paid the price for knowing it later.
